How to make a nourish plate

There are regularly times during the course of my week, when I get home from a long day of work and find myself with the conundrum of having to find something to eat. What I’ve found works a treat on these days is creating a nourish plate. This is simply a plate of whole foods, as many as I can muster up from my fridge and pantry, presented as a smorgasbord of variety. The vegetables are often raw, because I don’t feel like or have time to cook them, there’s usually some kind of leftover meat, fish or chicken and then I grab my favourite flavours and textures and put together an exciting and delicious plate of ‘yum’!
